This potent one-word spell enhances 1st- to 5th-level spells using the chaos of wild magic to break up and multiply them. This spell sets up a special spell complex that allows the caster to cast two spells in the same round. The spellflicker is cast first, immediately followed by the spell to be multiplied, during the same round. The spell enhanced by this magic is increased to 2-10 separate quasi-spells, the amount created is found by adding or subtracting the level variation roll of the caster from a base of 5, to a minimum of 2 (this spell always produces at least 2 quasi-spells). Spells enhanced this way although increased in number, loses some of their potency. This reduces the quasi-spells to half the range, duration, area of effect, and damage (only the size or number of dice are affected, all fractions are dropped) of the normal spell being enhanced.
For example, Jordon Silverblade (M20) casts spellflicker in conjunction with magic missile and rolls a 14 for his level variation. Jordon would then fire off 7 quasi-magic missile spells or 35 magic missiles, each causing 1d2+1 points of damage. Later that day, Jordon casts spellflicker with cone of cold and rolls a 7 for his level variation, which causes 5 cones of cold to lance out at his enemies, each doing 7d4 points of damage.
Notes: Restricted to Wild mages; Known only by the Wild mage Jordon "Piper" Silverblade, the mysterious Chosen of Mystra from the FORGOTTEN REALMS setting.
